Chapter 347: The Fire Source Pond
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Star Fiend Flame must have come from the source ground, which could probably be found by following this Star Fiend Flame.
Luo Yunyang’s surroundings had already turned scarlet red. Even the rocks seemed to contain a flouris.h.i.+ng power of fire.
Luo Yunyang’s Fire Attribute continued to rise. It had already surpa.s.sed 200 points, yet as his body descended nonstop, that scorching sensation continued to erode it.
300, 400, 500…
As Luo Yunyang continued to make adjustments on his attribute regulator, his Const.i.tution Fire Attribute became stronger and stronger. Even if Luo Yunyang hadn’t used any techniques, the waves of flame power would have continued to rush at his body.
If this place was used for cultivation, it would definitely be a superior cultivation ground.
By the time Luo Yunyang’s Fire Attribute was adjusted to 1,000 points, the scarlet crystals all around him had already vanished completely.
What appeared before Luo Yunyang’s eyes was an expanse of void.
Beneath this void was a 30-meter long pond filled with golden fluid.
Different colors of lights rose from the golden pond. In the blink of an eye, these lights shot in every direction.
There was a Star Fiend Flame, a Cold Moon Flame, an Intense Scarlet Sun Flame…
All sorts of flames, even some as tiny as threads of silk, flew towards the void.
Luo Yunyang couldn’t determine exactly how many essence flames were within the pond. However, the many flames that gathered like liquid in the pond tempted him.
His source cores had already taken form. The objective of his fire-based source core was to evolve and become a genuine sun.
However, this sort of evolution wasn’t easy, as his source core could evolve into both strong and weak suns.
If Luo Yunyang could absorb all the essence flames gathered in this fluid, it would be a ma.s.sive leap for him. However, absorbing this liquid would be…
After hesitating for a bit, a hint of resolve appeared in Luo Yunyang’s eyes. Although he didn’t possess a legendary divine blazing body, he could still raise his Const.i.tution Fire Attribute to the max.
For safety reasons, Luo Yunyang still decided to take a drop of this fluid and test it out by using the Dragon-Capturing Weaving Crane Technique.
Luo Yunyang waved his hands in the direction of the pond and got ready to capture a drop. In order to succeed with one move, he raised the True Intent of the Dragon-Capturing Weaving Crane Technique to the highest.
However, as he moved his hands, what rushed out of the pond wasn’t a drop, but a scarlet flame dragon.
Luo Yunyang had not expected this. Before he had any time to evade it, the flame dragon had already rushed over at him. As it pa.s.sed by him, Luo Yunyang raised his Fire Attribute to the max.
Based on his current attribute adjustment, even if he were to fall into lava, not only would the flames not harm him, but they would pour into his body frantically.
However, when the flame dragon pa.s.sed by him, Luo Yunyang was suddenly surrounded by a charred black color.
His meridians had been cauterized and cracks had appeared on every inch of skin. At this point, Luo Yunyang’s mind power felt like it was crumbling. He had been completely scorched.
The moment his mind power crumbled, only death would await him.
He could not afford to die. He absolutely couldn’t die. If he died, then his family…
Luo Yunyang made some quick adjustments to his Mind and Fire Attributes by using the attribute regulator. With practically each adjustment, he felt as though he was going to die.
Fortunately, when the adjustments were completed, Luo Yunyang finally stabilized that wave of power.
This power, which seemed like it could burn anything, kept revolving within Luo Yunyang’s body. However, this revolution didn’t seem to harm his body any more.
Although Luo Yunyang’s charred black body looked like a dried corpse, that wasn’t important. What was vital right now was absorbing that power.
After the Heaven-Battling Ape-Dragon Chart was used, a wave of warm energy flowed continuously into the fire-based source core in Luo Yunyang’s body.
The source core looked scarlet at first, yet as that energy poured in, its color started to turn golden-red and eventually turned pure white.
Within the cosmos that had opened up in Luo Yunyang’s body, the three tiny source cores looked like small lights flickering in the sky.
However, as that fiery energy poured in, the source core became brighter and started to swell up rapidly like a balloon.
Planet 3-Grade… Planet 4-Grade…
By the time Luo Yunyang was about to reach Planet 4-Grade, that energy had already been completely absorbed.
As he exhaled deeply, Luo Yunyang realized that his heart was shuddering. Sometime ago, he had been able to fight the 10 great Heaven-Grade source beasts mainly by cheating.
The functions of the attribute regulator had allowed him to reach the power of a Planet 9-Grade. However, his true strength was only a Planet 3-Grade.
Just a drop of this precious blazing fluid had helped him make big improvements. Moreover, there was still so much of that precious blazing fluid all around him.
Luo Yunyang used the Dragon-Capturing Weaving Crane Technique once again and reached for the pond full of precious fluid without hesitation.
Seconds and minutes trickled by as he cultivated. As he sat in a lotus position in the void, he slowly started to lose his human form and become more and more like a black skeleton.
However, the aura of his body became increasingly more intense, while the speed at which he absorbed that fluid became faster.
After an indefinite amount of time, Luo Yunyang seemed to sense these changes and dive into that pond of precious fluid.
Meanwhile, Yunxi stood on a green mountain peak. Although everything around her was silent, there was a slightly hazy look in her eyes.
It was very difficult to grasp the flow of time there by using her own methods, yet Yunxi estimated that she had already spent six months searching for divine flames in this place.
Six months of cultivation couldn’t be considered much. However, Yunxi had found 39 divine flames by now.
Gathering this many divine flames in the s.p.a.ce of six months wasn’t slow. Yunxi was actually confident that she would win this race, as Crown Prince Nanshan, Yuan Geng and the others wouldn’t strive as much as her.
However, they had more subordinates, which alone was enough to discourage her.
She could have also acted like them and brought several elite subordinates with. However, because of an unforeseen event, she had only been able to go herself.
Actually, there was still Luo Yunyang.
However, there had been no news from him so far, which gave Yunxi a bad feeling. After all, silencing someone in this dangerous place wouldn’t be hard.
“There still hasn’t been any news from Luo Yunyang, my lady.” The Ice Fire Divine Sparrow flew over, his voice sounding a little weary.
He had also just experienced a big battle. The Ice Fire Divine Sparrow seemed smaller than before he had entered this sacred land, and the two colors of his tail appeared to have merged.
Although this merging was extremely difficult, if it was successful, the Ice Fire Divine Sparrow’s speed would improve greatly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yunxi had been about to say something when a heaving booming sound made her turn in another direction.
The sound had come from the direction of the four pill furnaces, Yunxi suddenly saw columns of scarlet clouds rising to the sky.
The cloud pillars rose and danced in the air. Although this was the first time Yunxi had encountered such a sight, deep down she only had one explanation for this— someone had refined a pill furnace.
Even if she returned now, it would be no use. However, if she didn’t return…
Yunxi hesitated for some time before telling the Ice Fire Divine Sparrow, “Come on, let’s go take a look.”
The Ice Fire Divine Sparrow was so compliant that it could be considered Yunxi’s dog. As his body grew bigger, Yunxi stepped on his back and they soared towards the pill furnaces.
When they were about to reach their destination, yet another series of booming sounds rang out in the void. A scarlet dragon was rising up along with these sounds.
Although Yunxi had prepared herself for this, she still clenched her fists tighter as she saw her hopes slowly diminish.
She suddenly felt indignant. What could she do, though? She had no other choice.
When Yunxi arrived, she found Li Qingyun and Yuan Geng holding a small pill furnace in their hands each. Although the size of the pill furnaces had changed, Yunxi could tell that these had been two of the four pill furnaces.
When she arrived, that sincere-looking young man was using a gourd.
The gourd shuddered and flames burst forth and landed on a pill furnace, causing its color to start to change.
A scarlet mist started to disperse from the pill furnace, while a thick blood-red glow emanated from it.
“Ha ha! You are here, cousin!” Crown Prince Nanshan’s voice rang out. There were only four retainers behind him now, yet he looked pleased.
“You’ve arrived early, so you can go ahead and start the pill furnace. Ha ha! I am aware that there are rules for coming back first and last!” Crown Prince Nanshan’s lips curled up.
His words made Li Qingyun and the others turn their attention to Yunxi.
